What is CITIBIN?

We created CITIBIN because we were looking for an enclosure that met our own needs and criteria. We couldn't find one, so we built our own and created a business to make it available to you. Since prototyping our first unit in 2012, we have experimented with materials and design to create the world's best outdoor enclosure for garbage cans and storage bins. Extensive thought and testing have gone into every feature. The frame won't warp. The doors won't slam. The screws won't rust. Every detail was designed to be attractive, durable, and user-friendly. We've done the research and can promise that no other enclosure in the marketplace can give you the benefits that a CITIBIN can.

DURABLE

Unlike wood that warps, steel that rusts, and plastic that looks shoddy, CITIBIN is made with a rust-free aluminum frame and recycled bamboo composite siding

HOMEOWNERS

“After the energy and investment I've put into my home, it didn't make sense to pile garbage in front. CITIBIN conceals trash and adds curb appeal. My neighbors and the Landmark Commission agree!”Elaine, West Village (New York City)

“Trash storage is usually an afterthought. I love that CITIBIN corrals the garbage that would otherwise overtake our landscapes. It's a no-brainer to recommend CITIBIN to clients doing stoop projects.”Hilary, landscape architect

“We gutted and rebuilt a property with premium finishing to get top dollar. Developers tend to focus on interiors and sometimes neglect the exterior. We didn't make that mistake with this project — CITIBIN was in the plan from the beginning as a way to raise curb appeal.”Mark, real estate developer

“For years, trash management was always on the agenda of our co-op board meetings. We "invested" in an enclosure that fell apart after a few years. So this time we wanted a solution that will last. CITIBIN meets all of our expectations, and exceeds some as well.”James, co-op board president

The CITIBIN kit ships nationwide.

In response to demand for CITIBIN outside of New York City, we developed a pre-fabricated kit that can be flat-packed and shipped. A CITIBIN kit comes with pre-assembled panels and doors, and hardware for you or a handyman helper to bolt together.

For a limited time, shipping is FREE on CITIBINS in the continental United States.

Feeling uneasy about assembling CITIBIN yourself? We designed it to be easy to assemble, but that's for you to say. An assembly video and manual will be available here shortly.
